Greene, H. 1980 11 May (cont.) an outstanding lunch. Saw what I thought was a Crotaphytus vicinotorum on a boulder near the Cal City turnoff from Hwy 14. It was ~1.2m above ground and escaped in a burrow at the boulder's base. Stopped in Joshua trees on E slope of (sic) Tehachapi s caught Uta stantusia . Very windy. Someone had turned many of the logs recently and not replaced them.
